Step 1 Cut Patchwork Squares

Before starting you will need a 3x3 inch square. I find that if I make it from light weight cardboard it’s easier to use and will last longer.
First collect your assorted fabric . If your fabric needs to be ironed do that. Then trace and cut out 3” squares.
You will need 15 squares for the front, 15 squares for the back and 26 squares for the edging. A total of 56 squares. This will take you a little while, but take your time tracing and cutting. (I cut my squares using a pinking shears to help the hems lay better.)
